94. Obama is pulling us out of Iraq, and from what I read, he is

looking for an endgame in Afghanistan. None of us will know for sure until after his 8PM speech. It appears he has recognized a truth other nations didn't: Afghanistan never has had a powerful central government and doesn't want one. Work with the regional leaders, support them, empower them. Give them economic aid, give them training in policing, send in Ag agents to help rebuild their farms.
